[To approve a proposed approach to the implementation of a Residents/ Business and pay and display parking scheme]

Cllr Steve Evans presented the report on a proposed approach to the implementation of a Residents/Business and Pay and Display (P&D) Parking Scheme in areas where parking for residents is being severely affected by parking associated with the New Cross Hospital site.  Consultations would take place on the proposals with the affected residents and businesses by letter and questionnaire.

Cllr Milkinder Jaspal paid tribute to Bob Willis, Head of Highways Network who had been working on the proposals. He urged residents and business to participate in the consultations.

Resolved:

1.     That the phased implementation of a residents/business parking and Pay and Display scheme be supported.

2.     That it be endorsed that residents and businesses should be charged £20 for permits and the associated charges to cover some of the costs of the scheme.

3.     That the proposed Pay and Display scheme and the associated charges be endorsed.

4.     That consultation with affected residents and businesses by letter and questionnaire be approved.

5.     That subject to the required overall support for the scheme following the consultation the intention to advertise the necessary Traffic Regulations Orders and implement subject to there being no unresolved objections be noted.
